Background

(G)I-dle performing in Tacoma

In May 2024, (G)I-dle's Cube Entertainment announced that (G)I-dle would be embarking on their third world tour titled "I-dol", following their I Am Free-ty World Tour the previous year. It began with two shows in Seoul's KSPO Dome on August 3 and August 4, before continuing across Asia, North America, and Oceania.^[1][2]

Reception

Pyo Kyung-min of The Korea Times lauded the group's performance, calling the concert "testament to the group's polished stage presence" and "unparalleled command of the stage", giving special mention to Soyeon's performance of "Is This Bad B****** Number?", and the group's performances of "Wife", "Fate" and their newest single "Klaxon".^[3]

Other reviews by Korean outlets were also favorable, with MK Sports' crediting the group's "intense performance", MHN Sports noting that both the solo and group performances shined, and Esports News' Kim Ye-na called the concert "high quality" with "personal charm".^[4][5][6]

Soyeon's solo performance garnered media attention, due to her alluding to the end of her contract with Cube Entertainment towards the end of the year. Cube released a press statement claiming the lyrics were simply a spontaneous part of the performance, the contract renewals is for the next year, and that "Soyeon's spontaneous action, without discussing it with us first, could cause harm to the company".^[7][8] Soyeon responded to this via her Instagram account, where she revealed that she did not lie about the date of her contract ending, and did not hide the lyrics from the company and performed it in front of them multiple times during rehearsals.^[9] Following that Cube released an official statement apologizing for causing concerns, and announced that their previously reported statement was "the opinion of one individual" and not an official statement by the agency. Cube confirmed the contract's end date is true, that they were aware of Soyeon's lyrics ahead of time and are currently in the process of "smoothly discussing" a contract renewal.^[10]
